Wolfsburg Weed Huggers VW meeting

Christian Peck from the 'Wolfsburg Weed Huggers' VW club sent out invites via facebook to all the local VW clubs to join them at their show at the Squirrel Pub, in Penn Street, Bucks. So a few of us from the Aylesbury area decided to go along...

At the usual meeting point on the A413. The Aston Martin obviously felt intimidated when 5 air cooled VW's parked up, so he quickly left... the accleration as he blasted up the by-pass was amazing.

This very clean '71 Karmann Ghia was the owners entry vehicle into the VW scene. Having never owned a VW before, he just saved his money and bought his dream car, Most of us start out with an old beetle bought cheaply off a mate.

Classic shape of the Karmann... it will never go out of fashion.

This is an american import from California, so quite solid with no real rust issues.

Rear of Christian's splitty...

A super clean,super straight bay.

Polished Empi's and lowered suspension complete the look.

Sean's bay, with his new louvre window fitted by 'Spike' of 'The House of Dub'.

Dave's split window, looking good as usual.

Another clean and straight bay window.

It was a nice surprise when James and Helen decided to join us in their super clean beetle. You will be hard pushed to find a cleaner beetle, I have never seen any dirt what-so-ever on this bug!.

Engine bay is as clean as the bodywork.

Yes Sean, very funny... !!

Another friend of our's Neil, turned up in his newly acquired Syncro. He was telling us about his recent off road experience, sounds like great fun!

Early beetle turned up, with some nice period accessories.

Very nice period picnic basket.

Under the hood was more accessories including period suitcase, and a retro light.
